It was often used for clothing worn by the wealthy and for sacred purposes, such as priestly garments. Linen's association with purity and holiness made it a fitting material for religious ceremonies and temple use. The production of linen was labor-intensive, involving the cultivation of flax, spinning, and weaving, which added to its value and status.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1039</b> <i>býssinos</i> (an adjective derived from <a href="/greek/1040.htm">1040</a> <i>/býssos</i>, "fine linen") – properly, made of <i>fine linen</i>; (figuratively) the <i>unique</i> glorification each believer is awarded by Christ at His return. </p><p class="discovery">Rev 19:8: "It was given to her to clothe herself in <i>fine linen</i> (<a href="/greek/1039.htm">1039</a> <i>/býssinos</i>), bright and clean; for the <i>fine linen</i> (<a href="/greek/1039.htm">1039</a> <i>/býssinos</i>) is <i>the righteous acts of the saints</i>" (<i>NASU</i>).</p><p class="discovery">Rev 19:14: "And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in <i>fine linen</i> (<a href="/greek/1039.htm">1039</a> <i>/býssinos</i>), white and clean, were following Him on white horses" (<i>NASU</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1040.htm">bussos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fine linen<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fine linen (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1039: βύσσινος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βύσσινος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βυσσίνῃ</span>, <span class="greek2">βύσσινον</span> (<span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">βύσσος</span>, which see; cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀκάνθινος</span></span>, <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀμαράντινος</span></span>), <span class="accented">made of fine linen</span>; neuter <span class="greek2">βύσσινον</span> namely, <span class="greek2">ἱμάτιον</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 591 (550); (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 82 (72))) (a) <span class="accented">fine linen (garment)</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-12.htm">Revelation 18:12</a> (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">βύσσου</span>), <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Revelation 18:16>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Revelation 19:8,14> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading <span class="greek2">λευκοβυσσινον</span> (for <span class="greek2">βύσσινον</span> <span class="greek2">λευκόν</span>)).
